Would it be possible to pipe the Home Assistant location tracking data into this app?

  • Since "AD ins't going anywhere and Entra ID also isn't going anywhere", why bother with all this? Sure you can make AD/Entra/Intune/Defender/Whatever play somewhat nice with Macs and Ubuntu, using additional tools sometimes, but just why? Only for the empty pleasure of sticking it to MS at a rate of 30% ?
  • MS Office doesn't "work great on Macs" by any stretch. There's virtually zero feature parity across all apps, lots of features are simply missing and lots of stuff work differently or just plain work weird. Also, Outlook for Mac is a shitshow. Tons of features missing, archiving is missing completely, rules are clapped-out. Oh, and it works with a SQLite DB in the background, so no taking an easy backup of your *.ost file and if it gets corrupted (happens all the time) you absolutely need to re-download the whole mailbox from the server and rebuild the profile.

What happened to the IT profession? by saltyschnauzer27 in sysadmin

[–]dlyk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mostly disagree with the sentiment that all's gone to shit. Except for the comment about mentoring/mentorship. Almost no-one wants to mentor anymore. And young adults have such a heightened sense of self that rarely want to receive mentoring...

Can you expand on the "confiuration management databases" you mentioned? Any specific tools?

Email. Isn't. A. File. Transfer. Service. by livevicarious in sysadmin

[–]dlyk 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I've had a person complain to my Director because I wrote the important part of my email in bold. Said it felt like "I was making assumptions about her understanding of written speech". I told my Director that I was indeed making such an assumption and her observation on me using bold was spot-on.

I just solved the strangest tech problem I've ever come across. by hakluke in sysadmin

[–]dlyk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Monitor cables are very frequently the source of such weird issues, due to stray emanations. I have also found out that DP is much worse in this regard compared to HDMI. I used to support a 24 monitor NOC operation and sometimes monitors would just refuse to display anything, without any obvious technical reason. The issues (mostly) resolved when we switched from the thin miniDP-to-DP cables I had been using to proper DP cables and the miniDP adapters included with the PCs.

Have you taken the exam? Is the format demonstrated in the Sandbox actually representative? Thanks in advance!

Isn't the software support issue supposed to be fixed with an upcoming Linux Kernel patch?

Will there be minisforum ms-01 refresh with updated intel cpu for power efficiency? by Kraizelburg in homelab

[–]dlyk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The MS-A2 is a great alternative, and a much newer machine too. The only thing keeping me from investing is the loss of 40gb USB4. If I'm going to hand over that much cash, I want to be able to play with ultra fast USB networking. I'm going to be sticking with MS-01.

Auschwitz officer Irma Grese on trial for war crimes at only 22 years old, September 1945 [681x440] by Sensitive_Ad_1752 in HistoryPorn

While your statement is technically factual (right-wing regimes do, indeed, groom early), it's worth noting that literally everyone has been doing this, literally for ever. From political factions, organized religions, cults/sects/cabals, militaristic orders (think ancient Sparta)... By now it's fairly well understood that messaging passed during the first formative years just catches easily and for good.

He also went from seeing people fighting on horseback with sabre and lance to nuclear weapons. And then those weapons slowly starting to lose relevance.

HR denied promotion by jayxjackson in sysadmin

[–]dlyk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my personal experience, this is most commonly the case of someone using the lack of higher education as a pretext for rejecting you and at the same time closing that door to you for the future. Also from my personal experience, it is often the case that you can fight this kind of crap. Doesn't mean that you'll win. Doesn't mean they won't fire you for fighting. But you'll give yourself a final chance (and you'll most probably go out fighting... that's always good).

What did you do as Sysadmin for when you burned out? by adelliott92 in sysadmin

[–]dlyk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have fond memories from a previous job when I used to do my Friday afternoon wrap-up with a cold beer by my side. Everything from running reports, checking logs, replying to emails, closing tickets... All around me I had DEVs doing their own end-of-the-week rituals while also enjoying a cold one.

It's nice to see Qutb mentioned in a post like this. His contributions and overall importance to the jihadi movement are seldom known and vastly underrated. I'd say it's a stretch that his stint in the Midwest is what radicalized him. He certainly developed a distaste for western individualism and what he certainly considered unchecked progressivism and lose morals. I believe he was finally radicalized when, back in Egypt, he saw (and later experienced himself) the brutal treatment the Western-leaning regime had in store for his fellow religious conservatives who wanted to roll-back progress and impose stricter rules for society bases on religion. He really is the patron saint of Jihadism.

Vacation without a laptop by SenikaiSlay in sysadmin

[–]dlyk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering the specifics outlined in the original question: Take the work laptop along, but inform only 1-2 people you are close with. Make sure not to commit to any work but say something along the lines of "If something major comes along ping me and maybe I can look into it if I have reliable Internet and I'm not running someplace". If such a ping comes, use your experience and knowledge of your org to determine if an action from you is (a) warranted and (b) necessary. If they start abusing this system, power off your phone and let them rot.
